Commissioners add Brookings Biogas digestor valued at $1.94 million to the tax roll
Summary
Auditor Courtney Parker said new state law requires digestors to be added to tax rolls; the board approved adding a Brookings Biogas LLC digestor valued at $1,940,210 to Deuel County's tax roll.
During a public hearing at the Aug. 4 meeting, Auditor Courtney Parker told commissioners that a recent South Dakota law requires digestors to be added to the property tax digest. Parker said the digestor owned by Brookings Biogas LLC was valued at $1,940,210 and recommended adding that omitted property to the tax roll.
The commission voted to add the digestor to the tax roll (motion by Scott Fieber, seconded by Steve Rhody). The minutes record the dollar value and the unanimous approval; no alternate valuations or appeals were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The board's action places the digestor on the county property tax records and will affect future tax assessments for the owner, but the minutes do not include detail on how the valuation was calculated or whether assessments will be adjusted in future allocations.
